ER Once again...

Just got home from the Childrens Hospital in Knoxville...( they are soooooooooo nice)
Autumns pneumonia isnt getting any better. In fact, it is getting worse. Come to find out, she has a different kind and is contagious! That is great with Gran. I quarantined her to her room. She is on a different medicine. I hope this one works.
Gran ate some baby food..meat sticks actually. She also has been eating a cream slush from Sonic. Its like a milk shake. Uncle Wayne brings them to her. She will eat for him.

I hope to get some sleep tonight.

Good Night/Morning

It is 530 am here in E. Tennessee. Today starts fall break for the kids except Devin still has to go to school for football practice. They have an away game tonight so I will not get to go :(
I have only seen 1 of his games so far. The season will be over soon. I really hope to get to see more. Gran got a bath last night and her bed changed. Shawn helped me to do that before he went to bed. Uncle Wayne came by and got her to eat a whole cream slush from Sonic. He was amazed and so was I. I guess Ill have to start getting her those from time to time. I did get her some finger foods although they are for toddlers but maybe she will eat them. I got her some meat sticks and some chicken sticks. She can hold them herself and eat them. Devin said they were just a different form of Vienna Sausages. I guess he's right. At least it is some form of protien which she badly needs. I also got her some peach cobbler and dutch apple desert. Hey, anything is better than nothing..

Autumn is STILL sick but not as bad as before. Her fever will break completley and stay away a little while without any more medicine. I just hate giving her meds every 2 hours.
I havent been feeling the greatest myself the past few days and have been having some really bad headaches. I thought they were sinus at first but Im thinking more along the lines of migrains now since I have to end up taking migrain meds for them before I get any relief. I try to keep from taking it because it makes me so tired. I think the headaches are stress/lack of sleep related.

I have been stitching some..I have almost completed my new ornament I have started. I still need to back stitch the Santa ..He is sooooooo cute. My goal is to finish all the ornaments I have to stitch this week. Long shot, I know. I would at least like to get 2 completely done. I think I can manage that. I still have a few Halloween things to finish for exchanges as well. One is an ornament...the others are a towel and tuck pillow or cube. I think Im going to make that partner a cube. Ive just got to get stitching! I have some HUGE Christmas projects to work on as well.
Sigh....hopefully, I can get them done.
Im going to bed as soon as Shawn gets off to work. Autumn is going to lay with me for a while.
Good morning to all...or Good night! :)

Waving hello to all my 123 friends!

Another Loooong night

Its for sure to be another loooooong night. My daughter is STILL running the fever and it's been how long now? I would have thought the antibiotic would have started working by now but to me she is only getting worse. I called the hospital and they seem to be non concerned. Her fever was just up to 103.8. I gave her more medicine. She has done nothing but take medicine the past few days. Im sure she is bound to be tired of being sick..I know I am. I am wore out!

Gran ate 1 bite of my hamburger tonight and 1/2 of a brownie from a pan I had baked earlier. She is sleeping again. Seems that is about all she does lately. I am tired. I cant go to bed with Autumns fever being high like this. I guess Im in for another loooooooong night..

Saturday...man Im tired!

I can not believe it is almost 4 pm. I have been up maybe 20 minutes. I didnt get to go to bed until 800 am. I HATE having to set my clock and get up on Saturday mornings but Shawn had to get up at 730. Im just thankful that the kids are on fall break next week although Devin has to be at football practice at 8 every morning! That is some crap! What can they learn over fall break that they didn't learn over summer break. Anyways...

Gran hasnt been eating again although I did get her to eat a snack cake yesterday. Shes sleeping now. She is about the same as always.

Autumn , my 10 year old daughter, is a different story. She is sick still. She has ran a fever over a week now and has pneumonia. She coughs her little head off. She is coughing so much now she is hurting at night. The Dr from Childrens Hospital put her on the strongest antibiotic she could. I hope it starts to kick in soon. Its very sad seeing her like this..She is normally the one full of energy. She hasnt even been to soccer this week.

Our little kitten just decided to jump into the tub. Autumn left the water from her bath in there! LOL. The furry kitty , Pumpkin, looks like a drowned rat. Poor baby..

Virus?

I was up most of the night last night ( Tuesday 10/2) with my daughter. Her temp got up to 103.6 I took her to the DR yesterday but she said she had nothing wrong..hmmm.
I gave her an adult Motrin..(just 1) and this morning her fever was 97.5! She went to school even though the dr said she could stay home til Friday. Gran didnt eat but 1 bite of a chicken stick last night. I dont know what else to do..she just wont eat. What more can I say? What can I do? Im going to the store today and getting her some baby food. MAYBE she will eat some of it.
I have to clean my room. YUCK..LOL

I have been lurking some at the other place I visit. Im still kinda disinheartened by some people. I have to realise they are just people on this net like me. I cant please all the people all of the time. Right? If so...the bill collectors would stop calling me! :)

Im off to start laundry and finish my Santa!

Last Night

Gran ate 1/2 a cup of single serving jello. That's it. Tonight so far...nothing. She is now hollering for us to get her out of here! I know it sounds awful but it drives me crazy sometimes. Why is it that when I feel bad or am really tired I have to have nights like these? I think she has a radar..I used to say that about my kids too. I know she cant help it. I just have to remind myself of that.

My daughter has a virus..her strep test came back negative so that's that. The Dr still gave her 3 days out of school but NO MEDICINE. I thought that was wierd. She said she has blisters on her throat and DD has been running a fever over 100 for over 24 hours but she still gave her no meds. I donno...Ill give her some tylenol AGAIN and see what happens.

My computer is acting up. SOMEONE deleted ALL my favorites...all my friends homepages, links, freebies to charts to stitch..over 200..talk about upset..Ill never get them all back. Thank goodness I know how to search. I also lost quite a few emails..

Now I just got informed that we think my brothers dog got shot..I help take care of her. Theres something all the time going on here. And people wonder why I FORGET things or why other things take priority.

I have been stitching some. Ill have to post some pics here and then link them to my stitchers blog. I dont think I will be posting them at the usual place that I used too. In fact, I dont think Ill be frequenting that place as much as I used to. Lets just say...things happened and sometimes I think people have way too much time on their hands and worry about things much too small.
We are all entitled to our opinions right? Besides, I know who my TRUE FRIENDS are and who I can TRUELY count on.
Nuff said...( can you tell I am NOT in the best of moods?)

She Ate!

Tonight I am proud to say that Granma ate! She ate almost a whole bbq sandwich and 3 potato bites. (oven baked cut up potatoes) I was so proud. Shawn helped me change her clothes and the bed before he went to bed. I don't know what Id do without him and Mom sometimes. It is hard to change her by myself but I have done it before and can do it if I have to. I have been catching up on the never ending mountain of laundry. I think I have it knocked down to a mole hill now.
Now if I can just get whats folded put away before I have to wash more..I can dream can't I?

Shawn and I went to the flea market today. No I didnt buy any fleas. ( haha) I did buy some movies and saw 3 actual stitched pieces! There was one I so loved but I just couldnt bring myself to give 10.00 for it. I know the actual stitching itself was well worth it but I just couldnt get it. I bought milk with that 10.00 instead...sigh...the sacrifices I make for my kids. LOL...Seriously...I might have given 7.00 for it..but not 10.00. It wasnt well taken care of. ( I am trying to justify to myself why I just didnt give the man 10.00 for it! ) If he has it next weekend..I will give him 10.00. Ok,,now I feel better about that.

I am tired...very tired...I didnt sleep much last night. It seems the earlier I go to bed the worse I sleep. I wake up ALOT when I do get to go to bed early. So tonight Im making myself stay up later. I have to take Devin to school in the morning and every morning this week in fact..He got into trouble at school for not turning his home work in so his Science teacher who is also one of his football coaches is letting him come in early to make them up before the final grade for this grading period comes out. Otherwise...he will fail..and then he can not play ball. I guess thats a lesson he has to learn.

I think Gran is going to sleep now..she was fighting it earlier. I guess thats what I get for her eating...she did tell me her tummy was hurting...maybe she honeslty ate too much. I guess so since she hasnt been eating anything.
Hopefully tomorrow I can get some jello down her. We'll see.
